It's the season of ticks! Ticks are full of dangerous diseases, so it is important to take precautions when you're outside. Ticks are most active between April and September and are often found in tall grass, brushy, and wooded areas. Always check your body if you’ve been outdoors, especially in brushy areas. If you see ticks on your clothes make sure to tumble dry them on high for at least 10 minutes. If you find a tick attached to your skin, remove the tick as soon as possible using safe methods. If you develop a rash or fever within several days to weeks after removing a tick, see your doctor immediately. If you are unsure what to do, visit the CDC Tick Bot for help! https://ow.ly/grqB50SHhiW

"I have a desire to be healthy". Start journaling; capture what your symptoms are and start doing your research. #healthyhabits

How can the patient help to get an accurate diagnosis? Accurate diagnosis lies on the patient as much as it does on the health worker. Understanding the impact of wrong diagnosis, it is important that as a patient, you: 1. Share all your symptoms and medical history: It can be tiring recounting your medical history but do well not to withhold any detail as that could be the missing link to make the correct diagnosis. 2. Ask questions about your condition, next steps and wait times: See your health as a joint concern between you and your health provider. 3. Track appointments: Missing your appointments is not a safe practice. 4. Follow up on test results: Do not leave them to chance. Follow up and ensure they are ready and transferred to the requesting professional. 5. Don't hesitate to get a second opinion. #worldpatientsafetyday

What steps are you taking to prioritize your health today? Let's talk about it in the comments!

❓Have you decided to stop seeking answers and how are you moving on with your life? Chat confidentially with Insight. SBS INSIGHT aims to host nuanced conversations on tabu topics by airing people telling their stories. The program also gives authorities a platform to share their insights and responses. Many of us who have been chronically ill for years after a tick bite already have answers about the cause of our illness. What we’ve given up on is how to get effective medical care for our unrecognised chronic infections. Dr David Cameron in our recent post explains the treatment problem so very well: https://bit.ly/4i68ySr If you feel moved to bring your experience to the program, contact them via their online form: https://bit.ly/3YQHXzJ
